Australia vs England | Semi Final 2, World Cup | Edgbaston | 11th July, 2019 | Australia innings

[Titan24]

Imam is nowhere near the level of Babar and Shaheen. He hasn't done enough to cement his place in the side.

It was just to give example surely he has to prove a lot. I was just referring to the fact that atleast he is better than the openers we have produced in the last decade and is consistent. Yes we can argue regarding the scoring rate but if we look at the SR of our other openers (Except Fakhar and Sharjeel) we would be surprised to see that almost everyone of them was scoring at SR in 70s. So atleast we have consistency much better than we have for most part of the drcade.

Haider Ali of U19 is looking like a talent who can make it to national team and can be someone to watch out for.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Maxie must murder Rashid in his last 2 overs. He wont get a better bowler to target later on.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Daft maxie gone.

 

[Tapeballcricket]

I think Maxwell will be bounced out pretty soon.

Wow I was literally reading your comment and wondering they are bowling bouncers after bouncers to him and he got out.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

There goes maxwelll looool. Aswell as Australia chanves

 

[jnaveen1980]

Any chance of huge total is not on. Smith is not the kind of guy who would take the ownership and obliterate bowlers. He probably will do after 45 overs. Right now someone else has to do it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is an open secret now.

 

[Ahmed216]

Maxi is aussie Umer Akmal. Plays quick short innings'. Worst aussie batsman to have played for so long.

 

[Titan24]

Maxwell and Stoinis have let Australia down in this WC

 

[sindhiboy]

Maxwell was due a big score after consistent failures
Really thought this was his game.

He had so much potential but can't seem to perform

 

[shah_1]

Maxwell is the biggest flop ever in this format. Poor career, shouldn't ever play ODI again after this WC.

He should just stick to T20 cricket

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia innings progresses worse than Indias now. Cummins is a stubborn player. But he won't score runs quickly. Smith has to do the consolidator-cum-accelerator role. Can he do more than surviving

 

[marlonbrowndo]

The dip is Australia’s middle order over the years is just astounding. Remove their top 3 and this batting lineup is nothing apart from their keeper. An Australian who is scared of fast bowling. Never thought I’d see the day

 

[Titan24]

Maxie must murder Rashid in his last 2 overs. He wont get a better bowler to target later on.

He wasn’t thinking enough to target Rashid instead of Archer.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

What a disappointment Maxwell is. Afridi was much better honestly. At least Afridi was a great bowler in his peak.

Maxwell is the true bits and pieces player.

 

[Titan24]

There is a reason why Umer Akmal averages higher than Maxwell.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Their talent pool dried out. Not a single talented batsman in bench.

 

[sindhiboy]

Mitch marsh seems a better all rounder than those two.

Maxwell was in good form before wc. Otherwise Darcy short was a better all rounder in hindsight

 

[andy0204]

What a disappointment Maxwell is. Afridi was much better honestly. At least Afridi was a great bowler in his peak.

Maxwell is the true bits and pieces player.

afridi has the record of 2 fastest century in odis

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is a reason why Umer Akmal averages higher than Maxwell.

He got popular for his fancy outrageous T20 shots. But he was always carrying this weakness. In subcontinent conditions you don't get that much bounce. In these conditions you get true bounce. Slight extra bounce is all needed to trouble him.

 

[shah_1]

We dropped him thousand times in the last series

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Indeed he does. Maxwell is a hack. Good hack, but still a hack.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are bowlnig Arhcer out. Idiot maxie just had to see him off, they would have removed him off. This is called lack of match awareness.

 

[Titan24]

Mitch marsh seems a better all rounder than those two.

True, I wont be surprised of both of the names you have mentioned make a comeback post WC if Australia gets knocked out today.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Sad to see how t20 cricket ( especially ipl) ruined one day cricket. Don't know what will happened to odis after 20 years.

 

[jnaveen1980]

KUdos west indies for producing an another great fast bowler lol

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Get to 240

 

[Joseph Gomes]

LMAO what? This is the best WC quality wise since decades. Possibly the best ever.

 

[Titan24]

True. Was looking like a beast in UAE where there wasnt much bounce.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Get to 240

Baby steps. First 200. Then 220. I would say game on.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Baby steps. First 200. Then 220. I would say game on.

i dont think they will make 200 the rate they are going, eng to the final.

Will they win there first world cup?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Smith has to farm the strike with lot of care.

 

[Titan24]

Archer would to someone to watch out for in Ashes as well. That is only if he is fully fit now for longer format, struggled with back in his earlier days.

 

[jnaveen1980]

i dont think they will make 200 the rate they are going, eng to the final.

Will they win there first world cup?

Yes. No team will fold like cheap suit against NZ other than India. NZ is all about Boult. Others are managable.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am pretty sure Archer would have sucked if he had played for West Indies. Their strategy would have rendered him useless.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now England are the firm favorites. Forget about 200. Smith has to start counter-attacking. He cannot 'rotate' strike.

I think Matt Henry with new ball is underrated. He is no way near as complete a bowler as Boult but with new ball on his day he can be as threatening.

 

[shailee]

Australian batting is quite similar to Indian batting.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Baby steps. First 200. Then 220. I would say game on.

Who's gonna score those extra 60 runs? Smith is running out of partners.

 

[Ahmed216]

And the garbage bowler has got another one.
Absolute garbage

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Ok get 200...

Lol! Archer was giving our statements on his twitter before being considered for England like no tmw.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is turning sharply.

 

[jnaveen1980]

And the garbage bowler has got another one. Dont know how hes managed to take 140 wickets since 2015 WC.
Absolute garbage

He was until this match. Atherton just said that he was average.

 

[Titan24]

Rashid is having his best WC game in semi. Who would have thought?

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Adil Rashid is the luckiest cricketer ever. Has no talent but keeps getting chances and gets wickets too somehow.

 

[Jeetlodil]

Aus has to bat 50 overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

If they bat 50 overs they will comfortably get to 220.

 

[Mueez]

230 plus and this will be a tight game.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

I can see Australia getting to 210. England can still win this. Root will be the key.

 

[Titan24]

Its all upto Smith now to get Australia to 200-230 from here.

 

[shailee]

Rashid is having his best WC game in semi. Who would have thought?

Big match player

 

[jnaveen1980]

210 is not a challenging total. You need bare minimum 250 to challenge a team like England. But it is semi final. First chance of winning a world cup. They will be nervous.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Big match player

Damage was already done. He just capitalized on it.

 

[PakFan764]

Aus don't deserve to win this world cup.
Eng all the way.

 

[Ahmed216]

Adil Rashid is the luckiest cricketer ever. Has no talent but keeps getting chances and gets wickets too somehow.

Same can be said for every bowler. M not sure about his stats post WC 2015 ,how many wickets he has taken. But is not as poor as some of the experts think. Remember he doesnt get to bowl in sub continent conditions very often

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Eh, pitches in ODIs are pretty similar worldwide.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Aus don't deserve to win this world cup.
Eng all the way.

Whoever is good on that day thoroughly deserves to win the world cup. NZ was ruthless on the day that mattered. They deserved 100%. IT doesn't matter they did in the league phases. Applicable to Australia as well. If they somehow kill their chase with quick early blows and win the match they deserve it 100%.

 

[Ahmed216]

Would Yuvraj singh have taken 15 wickets in 2011 WC if it was played in Australia or England or SA?

Eng have been giving their odi cricket a lot more Importance and if they win this WC the interest will increase for cricket hence it'll be good for cricket.
Aus have already won 5 WCs. If they win anymore it'll be a mockery of the game.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Would Yuvraj singh have taken 15 wickets in 2011 WC if it was played in Australia or England or SA?

Maybe, maybe not. No way to tell.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Anything under 220 and Australia might not be able to defend. It's not like England will be in any hurry to chase down the total, all they have to do is see of Starc and Cummins for the first 10-15 overs.

 

[the Great Khan]

Isa Guha starts talking about India and how Dhoni was going to start crying...I really do not care Isa..lets talk about Archer or rashid please

 

[PakFan764]

Maybe, maybe not. No way to tell.

Would Shahid Afridi have taken 21 wickets in eng or sa?
It's a definite no.

 

[bantu]

Eng vs NZ final would be good as neither of them got ODI WC trophy

 

[jnaveen1980]

That is a philosophical. take. WHoever wins today deserves the win. This is going to be a low total that Australia has to defend. If they can do, they deserve it fully.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Isa Guha starts talking about India and how Dhoni was going to start crying...I really do not care Isa..lets talk about Archer or rashid please

All for the IPL $$$

 

[jnaveen1980]

I welcome new team winning the world cup. But just for kicks i want to see the reaction of Nasser Hussain after England's loss lol. Looks like He will go home happy today. There is a 10% of chance that it is not happening.

 

[Markhor]

Eng vs NZ final would be good as neither of them got ODI WC trophy

I agree, and if England reach the final it will be broadcast on free to air TV (currently not a single England match is televised on free stations).

It could be just the tonic needed to spark interest in the sport again. Though I don't mind New Zealand, and Kane Williamson getting his hands on the trophy.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This probably will look like a harmless partnership. There is no telling how important this partnership is going to be.

 

[Markhor]

Adil Rashid is the luckiest cricketer ever. Has no talent but keeps getting chances and gets wickets too somehow.

Rashid's record vs Top 7 ranked teams in ODIs stacks up fairly well. Only Yadav and Chahal, and Rashid Khan are ahead of him amongst wrist spinners:

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Babar inning here looks special now..

i think 240 will be decent score here. 220 likely

LOL @ Rashid Khan, what a minnow basher.

 

[Ab Fan]

England in strong position and favourites here.

Australia have Starc though.

View attachment 93687

Wrong comparison.
How many matches has Rashid Khan even played against the top 7 ranked teams?

The sample size is too small.

P.s.
Are you talking about Adil?

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Can Starc and Smith get Aus to 230?

 

[Smudger]

Aus just got to keep beleiving that they can get 250

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wood is a run leaker in death overs ( due to my luck he might pick up a wicket )

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Wrong comparison.

Which Rashid you talking about?
